Generation of Cerenkov radiation at 850 nm in higher-order-mode fiber

We demonstrate Cerenkov radiation generation in a higher-order-mode fiber with anomalous dispersion from approximately 700 to 800 nm. Cerenkov radiation at 850 nm with 0.6 nJ pulse energy is generated with 60% power conversion efficiency.
